–<\/p>\n

Mother Universe & All Her Children<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span>
\nFive Movements (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Omega):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"universe\"<\/a>I.\u00a0\u00a0 Divine Whole Note (Alpha):<\/span><\/strong> The beginning of the universe with the \u201cBig Bang\u201d and bringing forth the first sound(s) echoed in the universe; The Divine Whole Note. This movement expresses the beginning of all things.<\/span><\/p>\n

II.\u00a0\u00a0 Dancing Lights & Swirling Chaos (Beta):<\/span><\/strong> The cosmos begins forming its first subatomic particles, matter, and a multitude of celestial events come about thereafter; Nebulas, Stars, Planets, Solar Systems, Galaxies, and multiple dimensions of reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

III.\u00a0\u00a0 Infinite Nuances (Gamma):<\/span><\/strong> As the universe begins to calm after eons of bursting with galactic creations, sounds from the beginning echo throughout the cosmos. This movement evokes the goddess Gayatri; a feminine aspect of pure consciousness who is considered to be the mother of all Vedas.<\/span><\/p>\n

IV.\u00a0\u00a0 Life (Delta):<\/span><\/strong> The first signs of sentience begin to manifest throughout countless worlds and galaxies within the cosmos. Life demands of its Mother to be born as a child beckons to come forth from the womb. A young new world has formed in the void teeming with countless life forms of various shapes and sizes beginning its first steps towards awareness; Earth. <\/span><\/p>\n

V.\u00a0\u00a0 Oblivion (Omega):<\/span><\/strong> The universe implodes into itself in one \u201cBig Crunch,\u201d becoming a singularity and then succumbing to oblivion. This movement is expressed by rewinding a small portion of the last movement (Life) backwards at a high speed. This ends with an explosion, marking the implosion of the universe which is then followed by complete inertia. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
